Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device for camouflaging objects and / or persons according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method for the production thereof.
• camouflaging of objects becomes more and more difficult by the use of newer technologies such as radar, infrared night vision devices and the like, so that conventional camouflage nets, camouflage suits and the like barely provide protection against detection. Measures are well known, in particular to prevent radar detection, such as coating camouflage nets or camouflaged objects based on metal fillers, such as based on metal powders or metal fibers or on
• Base of ferrite such as carbonyl iron ferrite.
• coatings based on ferrite have the disadvantage that they are relatively heavy and the coating process is not without problems.
• An individual coloring is not always possible due to the filler based on iron.
• EP 1703247 describes a radar screen of the textile material which is at least two-ply and has a spacer layer.
• the proposed fabric is relatively expensive, especially in the production, and relatively heavy. It is therefore an object of the present invention to propose a measure for camouflaging objects and / or persons against detection by radar.
• Suitable ICPs are polymers based on polyanaline, polypyrrole or polythiophene, these conductive polymers generally being obtainable on the basis of solutions or dispersions on the market. These polymers or solutions or dispersions thereof are offered by, inter alia, Ormecon GmbH in Ammersbeck; Panipol, Finland; DSM, Holland; BASF AG, Ludwigshafen and H.C. Starck GmbH, Leverkusen, just to name a few.
• camouflage materials woven or knitted textiles can be used, such as based on polyesters, polyamide, aramid (aromatic polyamides) and polypropylene or blended fabric of the materials mentioned.
• the proposed camouflage material is constructed on a knitted fabric or an open fabric.
• metal threads such as those based on constantan or silver, can additionally be incorporated into the textile at a distance of approx. 3 to 5 mm, horizontally and vertically, or warp and weft.
• the coating of the fabric or knitted fabric can be effected by means of customary coating methods, such as spraying, application by means of a doctor blade, immersion in a dipping bath, etc.
• further additives can be added to the commercially available dispersions or solutions of said conductive polymers, such as wetting agents, thickeners, dispersants , Solvents, UV stabilizers, color pigments, flame retardants, crosslinking agents to increase the water and Losungs beaumaschine the final coating, etc.
• the coated camouflage material produced according to the invention can be used for any purpose, in particular for military purposes, where objects, persons or animals are to be protected against radar detection. Be it vehicles, buildings, heavy weapons or used as camouflage for troops.
• camouflage material used is provided by appropriate coloring or surface structuring with the camouflage patterns or camouflage colors customary today and known in order to additionally ensure good camouflage vis-a-vis visual recognition.
• the fabric or knit used has a certain optical transparency, in the order of about 10 to 40%, preferably 15 to 35%.
• camouflage materials produced in accordance with the invention have a conductivity in the order of about 300 ohms / sq to 35 kg ohms / sq.
• the proposed camouflage material is constructed on a knitted fabric or an open fabric.
• metal thread such as based on constantan or silver at a distance of 3 to 5 mm are incorporated into the textile.
• the effect of this thread is shown in Figures 1 and 2.
• this arrangement shows little effect at very high frequencies. Therefore, the fabric additionally, as suggested by the invention, nor with a conductive material such as based on polythiophene coated. The effect of this coating is shown in Figures 3 and 4.
• Knitted fabric and coating with conductive materials a material can be produced which optimally shields microwaves over a wide frequency range.
• the advantage of this method over the use of a conductive layer with much lower surface resistance is the more economical use of the very expensive conductive polymers.
• FIG. 2 Shielding of the reflection from the microwaves
• FIG. 4 Shielding of the reflection of the microwave radiation from 89 to 99 GHz
• a camouflage net was used based on a polyester fabric or an aramid fabric having a weight of 120 to 150 g / m 2 .
• the coating used was a dispersion from Agfa-Gevaert Ltd. with the designation Orgacon S300, ie based on Polyethylendioxythiophon (PEDOT). Before coating by means of Polyethylendioxythiophon the textile is preferably with a thin
• Polyurethane coating coated This pre-coating closes the surface slightly and ensures that less PEDOT is absorbed by the textile in the immersion bath described below.
• the coating of the polyester fabric or the Aramitgewebes was carried out by dip coating in a bath based on Orgacon S300 dissolved or dispersed in the following composition:
• the coating takes place in the abovementioned bath in accordance with the generally known dip-coating method, the coating preferably taking place twice in the dipping process.
• the consumption of this solution gives about 2 x 145ml / m 2 tissue.
• the following chemicals can be used:
• the soaked with Orgacon or coated polyester fabric was easily squeezed and dried, for example, at 16O 0 C by means of hot air or -strahier for about 120 sec., With the use of, for example, a crosslinking agent can take place an additional crosslinking in the coating.
• the temperature must be increased to about 190-200 ° C in order to achieve a diffusion of the flame retardant in the polyester fiber.
• the measurement can be taken from the enclosed figure 5 in the diagram shown.
• the coating of the fabric or knitted fabric can take place by means of any known coating method, in particular by means of a dipping method.
• the coating or the dipping method described are generally known methods for
• the present invention is by no means limited to simple fabrics as commonly used for camouflage nets, but the coating by means of an electrically conductive polymer can be applied to any textile or knit fabric, such as for example so-called two-ply, three-dimensional knitted or knit fabrics Raschelware. It has been found, for example, that the radar-shielding properties can be increased by the use of so-called two-ply fabrics or knitted fabrics by the intermediate space formed between the layers.
